OBAMA, OIL AND BP

So the BP roadshow on the other side of the pond goes on.

Mr. Cameron's paying his usual visit to Washington, just to let Mr. Yank know that his British slaves (whoever lied and said that Britons never, never would be?) are truly "on-side". The sycophancy of the Conservative Party, less obsequious than that of "new" Labour though it may be, shines like a beacon. This poodle-like traipsing is underscored, or rather was, by Philip Hammond's underwriting of the Afghan carnage, a bloodbath which has already cost 300 British lives. King Manasseh compelled his daughter to go through the fire (II Kings 21). Who said Stravinsky's Rite of Cameron was out of date?

And while we're on the subject of sacrifice, the mere thought of the heir to the Lavvie Pan and his whore presiding over the opening of the Official Fruit Slice is enough to make the Aussie working man puke in his breakfast. Still - some mothers have 'em!
